Evening Poolies,

just fancied popping by to see what you thought of the match tomorrow..looking forward to the long trip t'north tomorrow but not the early start , last time i came up your way was stupidly for that tuesday night FA cup game last season always seem to have a good day out none the less. got alot of time for the social club next to victoria park, fingers crossed we can get something like that at Falmer :)

as for the game tomorrow dont want to blow our trumpet because i think it will be a tough fixture but we have been a bit of a force on the road unbeaten in 8 games away from home now (Still pretty crap at withdean) i think our team for tomorrow will be something like: Brezovan,Calderon, El-Abd, Elphick, Virgo; Bennett, Crofts, Navarro, Dicker, LuaLua; Barnes

anway better get myself to bed soon got an early start leaving at 5.30 if you fancy some friendly banter our main online message board thingy is North Stand Chat - www.northstandchat.com always nice to see other teams fans on there.

Up the Albion!!

Nice post mate up the pools

Evening gullite, hope you have a enjoyable journey North tomorrow, do you lot think that your well safe now, and can afford to take yer foot off the gas, or will Mr.Poyet be expecting full commitment right up to the last game?

looking at your team it will be missing two players who have hit the net 25 times for Brighton in the league this season.

With one of those gone and the other suspended, that means your next top scorer has 5 in the league. That could swing the game in our favour.

Hope you have a nice, but ultimately fruitless journey!

I hope someone remembers to snap Tommy Elphick in two.

fully i would say we can not afford to relax where we are Brighton will play well as poyet has got them playing well hope im wrong

dont think we are safe yet can never be sure what brighton are going to do next so til its mathmatical theres no way we should be taking our foot off the gas pedal. Gus will keep rallying the troops right to the end especially as alot of our players are out of contract at the end of the season so they are going to have play to stay at the club.


yeh should expect a couple of hundred to make the exile north tomorrow + a couple of scottish seagulls in exile coming the other way


average age of of our strikers will be about 12 tomorrow...no im not kidding with murray out we are relying on some very young players to get us by, hopefully they can do a job


not a fan of our tommy? whats he done to upset the poolies

Is it the spirit of Easter.........civilisation seems to have broken out on the bunker.....no traditional welcome or anything.

Has a lot to do with way he behaved in the match at the Vic in 2007 a week after Pools lost a player (Michael Maidens)in a road traffic accident.

He was a F*****g right A**e hole. On the day we payed tribute to the player in question who was aged 20 when he tragically lost his life.

Well said, how he never got his head kicked in that day I'll never know. So we've got to win tomorrow just as much for Michael as for ourselves, RIP Michael Maidens, never forgotten.

I was at that game but don't remember tommy misbehaving it was an emotional charged day though now i think about it I do remember him getting stick from the pools fans.was that the day there was abit ofnpushing and shovig at the end of the match?

Your chief exec came round the away end that to personally thank the Brighton fans for there donations something we thought was an amazing touch.

Rip michael


This is way to early in the morning to be here but just got up ready for the trip north

If I had a hat, I would take it off to you.

Aye, enjoy your trip indeed, except the bit between 3-5pm!!

The pub on the other side of the ground from the social club, called The Millhouse, is away friendly and you'll find some board members in the lounge on the left hand side.

Their teeth click and they smell of wee but they mean well.

Aye safe journey up North mate, you seem a decent bloke

Tommy Elphick took the piss out of Richie Barkers black armband when Brighton scored their winner,thats why we all wish evil on him.

The guy is a evil piece of scum and hopefully someone breaks both his legs and he never plays again.

hth.
